Just a quick little post to ask for any little prayers, good vibes or positive juju you can spare. I'm heading to Pittsburg tomorrow to be screened for the Kalydeco clinical trial. I really want to get accepted for this trial. Any number of things could make me ineligible, but I'm thinking positively.
I have a few friends with my gene combo on Kalydeco and it has changed their lives! I want to feel better, I want to breathe better, I want to cough less, I want to have more energy. This pill has done it for them!
I tried to see if my insurance would cover the Kalydeco off label for me, but they didn't like the $307,000 per year price tag. So, I'm going to try to get on it by going the research route. The other thing I'm hoping is that if I get accepted that I don't get placebo for the first 6 months.
That's a lot of hopes and wishes for one post!
